¶ My soule, y holde, holy es it, [[MS. it es]] For she loueþ Ihesu, þat loueþ here wel. But loue were tendere to loue vsed, Were harder þan ston, and styffere þan stel. Line 124 On Ihesu she is amerous and ful auysed. What worldly þyng she seeþ or fele, Al worldly ioye she haþ refused, And me she loueþ neuere a dele. Line 128
(17)
¶ I wante my wille, and euel fare y, Fro worldly merþe put o syde. Fro worldis worschip she doþ me tary. I may no þouȝt fro here hyde. Line 132 Þere y blisse, she doþ wary; Þere y speke fayre, she doþ chyde. She is newe waxen al contrary. Þere y dwelle, she nyl not byde. Line 136
(18)
¶ She repreueþ my dagged cloþes, And longe pyked crakowed shon; Vpbreyde[þ] me my grete oþes, And sayþ y breke goddis bone. Line 140 Þat me is lef, all she loþes. I seye 'oþere men so don.' She seyþ, þey go to helle woþes, Wole to wende, wiþ hem to wone. Line 144
(19)
¶ Wiþ Ihesu, alway is she, And now she lyþ wiþ hym in cracche, Now into Egipt wiþ hym doþ fle Fro Herowdes, lest he hem cacche. Line 148 In his moder armes, born wol she be, And sowke wiþ hym, as chylde in tacche. She folweþ hym in al degre, And countrefeteþ to ben his macche. Line 152
